One of our dogs, Zelda, is still missing,
I put her story at the bottom of this page.

February 2010 was the last month for email via my drumfarm@global2000.net address
It is now dead and gone as of March 1, 2010.
For that reason, I have a new email.
Please use bobby@drumfarm.com from now on.
Once again, if you have problems emailing me,
Please call me at 518-638-8559
Telephoning works, leave a message if I'm not by the phone, or outside taking photos.
Or call back, or leave a message, or email me.

The Fourth of July is a time to be careful of fireworks, please
Buy a drum instead, it's round, you hit it, it goes boom.
And you can play it all year round, without getting hurt.
Much safer.

Old December 2013 info:
Zelda (we think it was Zelda) was sighted near Durkeetown Road where Hinds Road and Country Route 44 meet State Route 197. That is between Fort Edward and Argyle. Zelda was seen on December 10th, but the fellow who saw Zelda at that time, did not know Zelda was lost. He saw a posting with photos for Zelda, two days later on the 12th, and called us. We believe she could still be near that area for any of you local people who may live near there. Thank you again.

more old December - January 2014 info:
And, in the middle of January we heard of a second sighting from around December 9th in the vicinity of Bunker Hill Road and Joe Bean Road near the border of Salem, NY and Argyle, NY. (He saw the dog in December, and the poster a month later.)

More old info:
On Dec 27th, a dog matching Zelda's description was spotted near Edie Street in Greenwich NY. But we did not find out until Jan 11th that the fellow saw Zelda's photo and told us it really was her. Greenwich is 10 miles south of us, for you locals.

February 2014 info:
We have now listed Zelda with veterinarians, shelters, dog control officers and regional dog rescue internet sites.
Our own dog officer put Zelda on his Facebook site for people to share Zelda's photo.

And April 2014 info:
We asked our Adirondack dowser to dowse for Zelda.
January: He had Zelda north of Wynantskill near Troy, NY.
with a single person with a fenced in back yard just north of the intersection of State Route 355 and County Route 66.
April 6th: I still have Zelda in private hands, just North of Wyantskill, North boundary is Menemsha Lane.
East boundary is St. Rte # 139 (South out of Eagle Mills). South boundary is St. Rte # 130 (aka Weatherwax Rd.).’
On June 8, we drove to the above spots and looked all over, left posters, talked to those people we saw, still no dog.
For more info, contact me about this.
Thank you again.

May 2014 info:
Late on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, we had a sighting in Greenwich, NY on State Route 29,
in Battenville, near the Battenville-Cambridge Road intersection at County Route 61.
We have Zelda posted on 1-518-LOST-PETS and that is how this sighting was reported.
So early Thursday morning, May 15 we drove that area for quite a while, and still no Zelda.
Then on Saturday and Sunday we went back again leaving posters with neighbors who saw Zelda.
and we tried again on Monday afternoon, with no luck.
so we want to think she is nearby.
For anyone in that area, please be on the lookout.
Previous to February we had some stories and sightings, but still no dog.

There were no sightings February, March, April, June, July or August.

old September 2014 info:
A possible sighting was September 9, 2014, Tuesday.
This sighting was between Greenwich, NY and Cambridge, NY
about 15 miles south of here.
Zelda was seen on County Route 60 near the intersection of Stevenson Road by a neighbor who was out walking.
County Route 60, aka North Road, joins State Route 372 about 5 miles north of Stevenson Road where Zelda was seen.
If any local people spot her, please help, she has been gone too long.

This September sighting gave us new hope.

December 2014 info:
We received a call on Tuesday, December 23, 2014. The caller said she may have seen Zelda at the Hudson Valley Shop And Save Shopping Plaza near the intersection of 67 and 40 where the Schaghticoke NY Fair is located. She said there is a Rite Aid and a chimney fireplace store there also. She saw this dog two times around midnight, two weeks apart, so maybe Zelda is hunkered down nearby. She said the dog looks like Zelda, but ran away when spotted. We will put up more posters and internet postings and hope for the best. If this is Zelda she has traveled thirty plus miles from home. What a Christmas miracle it would be to bring out lost girl home.

January 2015 info:
We received a call at 4pm on Friday, January 23, 2015. The caller said she may have seen Zelda near the Cambridge - Greenwich line on route 74 near the intersection of Vly Summit Road. She was on Vly Summit Road, near that intersection. We went there right away, and found no dog. We left flyers in nearby mailboxes. This location is close to most of the other sightings except the previous one in Schaghticoke around Christmas. Perhaps that one was not Zelda. But this one is close to most others, so we prefer to think it is Zelda, and she is still hunkering down and not getting caught. Anyone near this area, please keep your eyes out for Zelda.
Once again,
This sighting was between Greenwich, NY and Cambridge, NY
about 16 miles south of here, like most of the other sightings.
